Frequently Asked Questions Veterans

No. However, eligible veterans should contact any of
the 24 Veteran Employment Program Offices for information about non-competitive
opportunities that may exist at their respective agencies. A complete listing
of Federal agency VEPOs is located on the Feds Hire Vets website http://www.fedshirevets.gov/AgencyDirectory/index.aspx

Congress determines eligibility for veterans’
preference through law in 5 USC 2108. However, the Federal agency to which a
veteran applies for employment will adjudicate claims for veterans’
preference. The agency will request a
copy of your DD-214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, or
other acceptable documentation in order to adjudicate claims for veterans'
preference.

You may file a complaint with the Department of
Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service. This is the agency designated by law, to
investigate violations of veterans’ preference.
Information on how to file a complaint may be found at: http://www.dol.gov/elaws/vetspref.htm

Your military pay, grade, and rank alone cannot
determine your eligibility for a specific civilian salary, grade level, or
pay range. On your job application, it is important that you completely
and accurately describe the duties you performed during your military service,
particularly those military duties that relate directly to the position you are
applying for. The agency will then evaluate your qualifications to
determine whether you are eligible for the occupation and grade levels
advertised on the vacancy announcement. Please be sure to submit all requested
documents in a timely manner and follow the application procedures described in
the vacancy announcement.
